The Review

Samaritan’s Purse is a Christian-based international relief organization. They have a reputation or running in when others are running away. This was proven more so than any other moment during the Ebola crisis in Liberia. Ebola is a deadly virus that causes fever, hemorrhages and ultimately death in the overwhelming majority of those infected with it. The volunteers wth Samaritan’s Purse put themselves into harm’s way to help others. Their precautions should have been enough, but like everything else in life… There are no guarantees. As they watched so many have died right in front of them, they’d soon face death at their own front door. That’s the story that is addressed here. It’s a powerful testimony of what these individuals experience. Even with as powerful as it is, it is heavily laden with religious and political topics. Since it’s a Christian based story about a Christian based organization, that is to be expected. It’s not for everyone, but for those curious about this organization or epidemic… it is informative.
